Andrew Carnegie‚ The Selfish Philanthropist Andrew Carnegie‚ born on November 25‚ 1835‚ was a Scottish philanthropist who was one of the richest men in America in the 1900 ’s. I completely agree with Carnegie ’s opinion of how the rich should donate their money toward the good of mankind before they die‚ but disagree with his actions toward his workers . He started working in a cotton mill making $1.20 a week only to upgrade to $2.20 working as a messenger boy. He eventually taught himself telegraphy

"Is Self-Care Selfish" When I first saw the assignment with the title‚ I questioned myself what has to do with self-care being selfish.

Selfish vs. Selfless I think people are more selfish than selfless because of the way our society has changed effectively‚ in terms of behavior.

The criticism stemmed from the challenges that were made by Oscar Wilde regarding Victorian morality. The novel was written in the aesthetic era‚ an era where authors attempted to reverse the role of art‚ to have no purpose besides being beautiful. Critics of the novel did not like this idea‚ fearing that it would corrupt readers‚ specifically their
